Abstract

The Sumatran elephant is the largest mammal species on the island of Sumatera. They are listed by the IUCN as critically endangered (IUCN, 2020). The current population throughout Sumatera lies on 22 home ranges and most of them are in critical condition (KLHK, 2020). One of the home ranges in Aceh Province is in the landscape of Mila-Tange, Pidie Regency. This landscape is a meeting point among the elephant herds. The herds that have been separated into small groups will gather with the other groups in several months. This phenomenon becoming one of the triggers for the incidents of human-elephant conflict. The conservation activity is being implemented by taking into account the needs of livelihood in the area. Therefore, the research was conducted to recognize the movement pattern and its range in this landscape during period of January to December 2021. The results show that the elephant herd range lies from 123 km2 to 413 km2. The movement patterns are concentrating in the type of shrubs (1.227 points which equal to 46.73%) and mixed dry land agriculture (923 points which equal to 35.15%). The roaming area and movement patterns are mostly influenced by the environmental factors including natural food, land cover and anthropogenic activities.

Abstract

Killing orangutans in human-orangutan conflicts threatens their populations. Individuals with high conservation awareness tend to tolerate orangutans' crop foraging. In our study in Tangkahan ecotourism, Leuser Ecosystem, Indonesia, we examined local community mitigation methods and their understanding of orangutan conservation. We utilized a convenience sampling method for this study, primarily serving as a pilot study to test the questionnaire we had designed. This questionnaire consisted of open-ended questions used in semi-structured interviews. We conducted interviews with 16 respondents, all of whom willingly participated and allowed us to record their responses. Our findings revealed that the most commonly employed mitigation methods by the local community were the use of firecrackers and traditional crop guarding. Notably, these methods were non-lethal in nature, which aligns with the respondents' overall conservation awareness. All participants demonstrated knowledge of the protected status of orangutans, and some provided further insights into their rarity, endangerment, population decline, habitat degradation, and endemism. Their positive attitude likely stems from the impact of ecotourism.
